Anti-RTL3 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Retrotransposon Gag like 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RTL3 gene. This gene is a member of a family of gag-related retrotransposon genes. These genes appear to have lost the ability to retrotranspose; however, their open reading frames have remained intact, which may indicate that these genes have acquired new functions in the cell.

Could induce apoptosis in a BH3 domain-dependent manner. The interaction network of Bcl-2 family members may play a key role in modulation RTL10/BOP intrinsic apoptotic signaling activity.
